The pirate comments confused us a bit at first, but after a few seconds of clicking around...we discovered that today was International Talk Like A Pirate Day! At least we found out now, we've still got a few good hours left to use our pirate lingo. Even ABC celebrated (one day early), check out the above commercial for last nights "Wife Swap" show. There's also an entire Flickr set dedicated to the day, and a ton of YouTube videos.

The Yeti posted a pirate song to help get you in the mood today! And us, all we've got is this bad pirate joke:

Q: What kind of socks do pirates wear?
A: Aaaaaargyle!
